In your current setup, the WD TV Live has a chip integrated that decodes most of the movies you watch and the LS420 only serves the files (I guess through DLNA or the SMB protocol.) So the WD TV Live is the power horse. With Plex, the important part is that one device in your setup needs to have enough power to play the movie. I’ll need to get my hands on one of the models and I’ll try to build a firmware for them.Īs for Plex Media Server and Roku in your home, I have mixed results. I try to keep up with Plex news, if anything changes for the ARMv7 processors I’ll know about it. The firmware the LS420 uses is also a bit different, so even with the same processor I would need to repackage a custom firmware to the LS420. (ARMv7 is definitely a better processor, so eventually they should start looking into it.) This may change in the future but I don’t have any roadmaps. Unfortunately Plex Media Server only supports ARMv5 for now. Because of that, please do not try to upgrade to this firmware. The LS420 has the Marvel Armada 370 processor which is a more modern processor (ARMv7) than what’s in the LS-WVL (Marvell Kirkwood, ARMv5). Unfortunately the LS420 is not compatible with this custom firmware because of processor and firmware differences.
